Service Learning

Are you interested in getting academic credit for engaging in service within the broader Los Angeles community? Civic engagement enables students to develop relationships with community partners either through independent study or innovative service learning courses. These relationships can enhance academic study and may include internships or lead to future employment opportunities. The Center for Jewish Studies also offers scholarships for civic engagement research.

As part of its Civic Engagement Initiative, the UCLA Alan D. Leve Center for Jewish Studies invites undergraduate students to apply for summer scholarship funds. Research should connect academic work with the broader community. Eligible research may include traditional historical projects requiring library and archival research, as well as creative endeavors such as museum exhibitions, interviews/oral histories, blogs, videos, or digital media projects.

This support is made possible by the Frey Scholarship Fund for Undergraduate Students in Jewish Studies. Freshmen, sophomore, juniors, and seniors may apply. Students in all majors are eligible as long as the project is focused in some way on Jewish Studies.
